I thought i’d call to you and talk awhile,
I’m sitting here alone, I’ve been thinking.
What can i do to make this world a better place,
Let go of anger and sometimes terrible thoughts.
Do not waste this time that I’ve been given,
Smile and say hello to a passerby.
Lend a hand to a less fortunate soul,
Put a little trust in man, this I’ve been told.
Do not take a life, be there for a friend,
Teach a child right from wrong.
Love as much as you can, hate is not a gift in hand,
Do not steal or act in violence,
I’ve been thinking god, I just needed you to listen.

Question – are you “Categorizing” in “Poetry”, to reach your audience? And, you’re publishing a “blank shadow” each new poem…
There’s nothing there!
you can do more than one category – when I got started, I didn’t categorize and two full collections of “Poetry” went unread – they seem to go into “Uncategorized” nether-land…
Thinking and talking to God can be the best ๐
Thanks for your ‘Follow’ and going on to read more of yours!

Thanks so much for the follow! I am always glad to find another poetry blog. I like that this poem is understandable and not full of secret messages I can’t understand, but rather is clear and what it says is worth reading and doing!

I enjoyed your poem. Thanks for following my blog. Keep writing!
Truthfully…just do what you have to in order to be happy and everything will flow from there. That’s the answer. If you’re happy everyone around you will benefit from that and you will know how to live because you just keep doing what brings joy to your life so that you can share that with the world. It works.
nice.
Letting go of anger can be hard for so many people, its nice to be free of it
